What I think about SHADOW WARRIOR?
First, I would like to tell you that this is the first time I played this video game. I have played some of the levels in the game and I think the gameplay that this video game offer is very similar to another FPS video game. However, the game have some of it's own uniqueness. I personally do not like the game too much. Because of this game contain some sexual theme, i could not play the game freely in front of people such as at work. So, I think i would not play the game again.
